Love may not cost a thing, but for Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, it led to divorce.

Jennifer Lopez has called it quits with Ben Affleck and filed for divorce after months of speculation about their rocky relationship.

The superstar filed the papers on 20 August at the LA County Superior Court.

Lopez and Affleck, who rekindled their romance over 20 years after it first began, got married in Las Vegas in July 2022. They first became an item in the early 2000s, with the media calling them Bennifer.

By November 2002, they were engaged, but the spark didn't last. Their wedding, planned for September 2003, was postponed, and by January 2004, they had called it quits.

After their breakup, both stars moved on—Lopez married Marc Anthony in 2004, and Affleck wed Jennifer Garner in 2005. However, these relationships also ended, with Lopez and Anthony separating in 2011, and Affleck and Garner splitting in 2015.

In April 2021, Bennifer fans were excited when the pair were spotted together again in Los Angeles. A year later, they were engaged once more, but the romance that once captivated the world has now come to an end.
